Good.
This is not a blow at all to the Liberals. O'Brien claims he has no interest in voting against the government on a confidence motion, and he'll likely be replaced in the Liberal causcus by someone more socially liberal.
I'm not sure what O'Brien is trying to accomplish here...he won't be re-elected as an independent, so unless he's planning to cross the floor and run as a Conservative in the next election, he's pretty much put an end to his political career.
